Introducing R

Abstract

R is a piece of statistical software created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman [21]. R is both a programming language and a work environment. Commands are executed using descriptive code. Results are displayed as text and the plots are visualized directly in their own window. R is clone of the statistical software S-plus.
